      I agree #NeverTrump at this point isn't going to make a dent in the party trajectory. For me, it's refusing to vote for him. Nothing you say will change that. So if it's no big deal, why is #NeverTrump living rent-free in your brains? Surely you can handle a little dissent?

      If you've dug yourself into the position that Trump & only Trump can win...what comes next, after he's gone? Because I don't see anybody anything like Trump winning statewide elections. You're gonna have a bench full of more conventional Rs again.

      I accept that a post-Trump GOP will have a lot of Trump supporters in it. Oh, we need to purge some noisy extremists & depose some grifters, but the idea of running enthusiastic Trump supporters out of the party is a self-destructive fantasy. But....

      ...the people who want a party that looks & sounds like Trump aren't a majority, & the only way to make them one is keep shrinking the party. Yes, lots of Rs who aren't with the whole MAGA attitude & program will follow him as long as he's leader; they're team players.

      Coalition politics always means learning to play well with other factions in your party, and also accepting that different factions get a turn at the wheel. Too many of the loud MAGA voices haven't accepted that or planned beyond his term.

          I didn't vote for Trump in 2016, will oppose his nomination again in 2020, & don't know if I will vote for him next November, but I'm not leaving the GOP. Like it or not, those of us who value liberty & Constitutional government will still need each other when Trump is gone.

          This goes for many of the Never Trump voices as well.

          I would like to hear just one Trump accolade explain what the defining principals of Trumpism are. What comes next. Or are they just fine with the party being destroyed to satisfy the Orange God Kings mercurial fancies.

          Right. How do we reassemble our old suburban coalition while keeping the Drews happy (I am not being a jerk here. Being quite serious.)

          I believe a lot of MAGA folks feel that much of NeverTrump is a tantrum by those who never intended being anything other than the power within the Right coalition. It’s hard to argue against that sentiment with the “I’m taking my ball home” mentality of those leaving GOP

          Too many NeverTrumpers (like 100% of them) still don’t recognize the horrors in store for this country should we elect another democrat president. There is no reasoning and no common ground with the modern democrat party, they seek 1 party rule and will stop at nothing to get it

          We *will* elect another D president, in 2024 if not 2020. We need a plan beyond "blame each other."

          The MAGA voices are not the ones having difficulty with the concept you describe.
